I want illustrated editions of my Sigils books, but I am bereft of time and money. If you want to support this idea, I set a goal on my Kofi:

Every automaton has a ceramic mask and many iterations. Enjoy concept doodles I made today.

#art #SFF #Writesky #WritingCommunity

Sketch on parchment of various ceramic masks belonging to automatons in the Sigils universe.

The juggernauts' masks are bearded with a grimace and hammer pattern on their forehead. One has a helmet.

The harpy is a bald woman with artful patterns.

The drake's mask is in multiple marts because it is a mechanical dragon. Jaws and horns are separate parts because its face actually moves.

Week 1: Colors || Day 4: Green

Savitri has striking green eyes, a shade unlike the decayed pines and wilting grass of the Earth she lives on. It’s bright and piercing.

Savitri, definitely not. At the beginning of NWO she’s roughly 14-16 and scavenging for scraps is her priority. As she ages and interacts with more of the world, she begins to associate makeup with luxury which isn’t a false equivalence.

Rebecca E. Reyes @rebeccareyeswriting.com · 13h

Does your MC wear makeup or paint?

Thalia wears bold makeup for her stage acts and a muted look for a party, but she prefers to be plain faced for most of her day to day activities.

Omeran culture doesn't have war paint, but I'm sure they have grease paint for war.

The moon is blue! While that’s due to |spoilers| it makes a very interesting sight in the dark red sky

New World Order has a permanent red sky, which waxes and wanes in as time passes.

I have no motivation today. I redid my resume so that it fits on one page and looks prettier now. Filled out a few more job apps.

It's difficult to focus on my books, even with free time this morning. Can anyone help me out?

Every business saying they're offering people a meal and adding "let's not make this political" deserve their asses on platters on social media. It is 100000% political. ENTIRELY political. There is nothing not political about the withholding of food money from citizens.

Fans of science fiction fantasy and straight up sci-fi with twisted societies, reluctant alliances, and flawed characters, may I entice you with my weird writing?

rebeccareyeswriting.com

#SFF #Scifi #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Books #Booksky💙📚

All three of my published books: Sigils of Malice, Sigils of Blight, and The Sarcophagus of Lamia

Sigils of Malice's book cover has a magical, horned blue beetle with red eyes sprinkling glittering dust on magical technology lit by a blue gem.

Sigils of Blight's book cover is of a six-sided lantern lit with a ghostly flame, in the jungle, in front of burning ruins.

The Saprophagous of Lamia's cover is of an ethereal blonde woman's resting face, laying back upon red velvet. She has a silver implant in her hair. In front of her is a round, gothic window with gold filigree. Leaves, faces and fish are in the filigree's design.

The background image is a yellowed photo of a gothic church, courtesy of Aleslanger on Pixabay.

Ended up with a better vision of my thesis cover after some feedback from friends and it captures the desolation I’m going for better

Been playing around in Canva with ideas for my thesis, tentatively titled “New World Order” which is about the birth of the Federation and a memoir of it’s founder, Savitri Edwards.

Finally got my hands on a copy of “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler, which is both for fun and for thesis research. I loved her book “Dawn” and want to continue the Lilith’s Brood series but thesis work takes precedence right now for the next year

Hi y’all, I’m Dev Kingsley and I write sci-fi and some fantasy. I’m an avid DIYer and crafter in my spare time while also pursuing my Creative Writing MA.

The WIP: Currently unnamed novel for my MA thesis dealing with the founder of the Federation, Savitri Edwards.

The goal: write the plot first!

Nothin else for it

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this.

In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway
